Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

YESTERDAY WAS TURDS-DAY

Questionable?

Question: Have you ever seen a goat turd? There are lots of them on our property.

Until I owned goats I never really understood the story told by a coworker. It seems he would trick his cousins when they were all children. He would carry around a paper bag of goat turds and get his much younger cousins to eat them telling these innocents it was candy.

Question: Have you ever seen Sugar Babies candy? I got some at the picture show last week.

The left over candy was in the cabinet and when I got them down I accidentally spilled a few on the floor. This sound is an automatic summons for Slim to come see what goodie might have dropped. She usually looks at the food then at me and if I point to the food with my toe it means she can eat it.

She looked at the spilled Sugar Babies and then looked at my toe pointing out the food. Slim simply walked away with a "You've got to be kidding" look on her face.

Tabor -- If we had babies here they would not be crawling outside and there are no goat turds in the house. of course we wouldn't want them to get the sugar babies either. Yes I wondered why Slim didn't trust the caramel and sugar smell. She is more of a meat and potatoes dog:)

I'm stunned. I get up at 5 AM to take advantage of the silence and to sit at the computer to both catch up on my favorite blogs and watch Gods creation unfold with the sunrise. And what should I find but a blog about my favorite topic, goat turds.So, for the record, I have never eaten goat turds, I have seen goat turds,our dog would have eaten the goat turds, and the candy the looked like goat turds.And to top all of this off, I've never been able to write the words 'goat turds' six times in one paragraph in my entire life.Until now. cmPS:just so you know, 'goat turd' can also be used a term of endearment. As in: "Well you little..."Make that 7 or 8 if you count the unwritten one.

Cliff -- I have also pondered the times I wrote "goat turd" and find it appalling. Not necessarily the goat part but definitely the "turd" part. What was I thinking?

Bonnie (BIZ) -- Glad I could provide you a good strategy for keeping you candy to yourself. You can also salvage your rice krispies by equating them with maggots. My siblings did that to me and I can't eat rice krispies to this day.

About Me

Favorite quote by Angie Worth: "Faith is what holds us together while religion tears us apart."
ABOUT ME: I avoid the news. I have turned off my political upheaval. My days of political activisim are supposed to be over. My hands have been thrown up in surrender and I try to be the best wife, mom, grandma, sibling and chicken farmer that I can be. "I am alive, I am alive by God's grace, I am living in God's care."
